The Sealife Park is very good value if you book through the site and highly recommended for a good day out if you have children under 10. " |

| "Sandford Holiday Park was a much needed second break for us. The park and facilities were fantastic and we will be returning in 2010 for a longer holiday. The accommodation was first class the entertainment very much family oriented instead of just live bands which children get bored with and our son still has a larger than life balloon motorbike made by the balloonatic!!! All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful and we would recommend Sandford Holiday Park to anyone looking for a good value family holiday." |
